Hi all,
I have a server that sits behind a router (server is NAT:ed) and allows ssh
connections in. That is to say, the *only* thing it allows in is ssh
connections.
Now, BackupPC uses pings to check if the machine to be backed up is alive.
Since the router in question doesn?t respond to any pings, it's in a
pseudo-stealth mode, then BackupPC thinks the machine is down and doesn't
initiate any backups even though the machine is actually alive and
responding otherwise.
Short of making the router visible on the network for pings, is there any
other way to circumvent this problem? Maybe connecting to the ssh-port or
something? Ideas and pointers are greatly appreciated!
